bush closed every speech at the end talking about his support for a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. he was trying to gin up conservative support. we can look at the polling data and there is no question, no question at all, public opinion has changed in recent years. this is our most recent cnn/orc poll. you see here a majority of americans, 54%, say marriage between gay or lesbian couples should be recognized as valid. so a majority of americans support same sex marriage. if you look at these numbers from gallup, you can see how public opinion has changed over time. yellow line is those who say it should not be valid. the green line is those who favor same sex marriage. you notice right here, sometime in late 2010, 2011, those lines crossed to where you have even in the gallup numbers now, a majority saying yes, country's split 50-48 saying no and the gallup numbers. here's the interesting part. does it help the president gin up turnout on college campuses and the like. if you look at states where -- the six states, let me move this out of the way, if you look at
